WHAT THEY WANT.-"What do the
republicans want >"
Well, generally, they want the earth
and the concave sphere above it; they
want the democratic candidates for
stndry'ro ber ueteafedhn every tOAf:
ty in the State; and in every county
now democratic, they are working to
have the officials all republicans; they
want the republican State ticket cleo
ted, which means a republican Board
of Public Works and republican APP
pointments all over the State; they
want democrats to help them do this,
and,
Like the child that cries for the moon,
They will fail 10 get what they want.

POLITICAL CARDS.


lCoANUSiCAfkD-
MEcHANICsyIILE, Nov. I, 1881.
MessrS Editors.-My attention has been
called n . card in the -Entsrprise," Of the
29th. smo. denying thai Mr.. Ching had
made he remark concerning the democrat
ic ticket that charged him with in the
last BEACON and saying that his nearest
relatives are Catholics / will admit that
his nearest and dearest this wifel is Cath
ole but will he deny that he prevents her,
if he can help il, from seeing Priest and
can he deny that after his children were
chistened by q Priest that he compelled
them 10 be re-chistened by another minis
teri And yet he says thai he Is not pred
JUDGED 10 any religion, i wish the gen
tleman 10 know that l am responsible for
all / say and that my word Is as good in
So. Mary's county IS Mr. Ching's
On the night that Mr.. Ching said in my
bar that the democratic ticket meant dem
ocrats, old Rebels and Roman Catholics"
Mr.. Watson was in my bar and said that
he was no Catholic. Is any man who de-
mics his religion 3 trustworthy witness
The same man assured me on the 18th Of
October, 1887, that he was only tickling
Ching and would vote the straight demo
cratic ticket" will back what say and
while do not drum up anything against
any candidate, yet when l hear one make
. remark and assert that he said i; there
are not republicans enough in Maryland TO
make me deny the truth and eat my words
think that the party who is writing the
pieces in the Enterprises is very much
interested in our little Mechanicsville post
Office matter which believe and will
MAINTAIN is none of his business.
In substantiation of my assertion | sub
join the following certificate:
This Is to certify that Mr.. r. T. Cop
sey's statement that Mr. John F. Ching
said the Democratic ticket meant Demo
crat, old Rebel and Roman Catholic" is

A CARD.

Messrs. Editors.-I have read the COM
munication of Mr.. II. I. Copsey in your
last issue have denounced the statement
as deliberate, unqualified falsehood and
do 80 yet. When the public reflect that
many members of my own family nave
been baptized by Catholic Priests; that
many of my own and nv wife's relatives
are Catholics; that a large part of the re-
publican party and members of the pres
ent ticket are Catholics, any further refu-
tation of this charge would seem unneceSsa-
~. However, l have busted myself TO
learn from those present whether any 9th
er than Copsey had heard any such decla-
ton and have left with the editors Of the
ERterprise the sworn statement Of Mr.
Robert b. Cole, who was present, that the
charge is Il malicious invention, also the
written statement of Mr. George j. Wat
son TO the same effect. | have been advis-
ed that Nr. Copsey has secured the sigma
ture of one Robert Lyon 10 substantiate
his (Copsey'sD statement. am unwilling
TO believe il, as have also left with the
editors OF the Enterprise IA written state
ment from Mr. Charles J Hunter, a repu-
table gentleman, 10 the effect that Mr.
Robert Lyon, in the presence of Messrs.
Ferd L. Burch and b. Hancock, denied, at
Mechanicsville on the Goth, that he had
heard any such declaration from me Mr..
Copsey is bitter enemy of mine. | am
nor have / ever been progressed by him
With this statement | leave the matter %
an impartial public. JOHN F. CHING.

Proprietary Medicines.

A visit to DR.. Green's Laboratory. at
Woodbury., NJ has considerably changed
eur views, and especially our prejudices
in regard to what are generally known as
STANDARD Patent Medicines" OF course
we are getting to that age in life when we
are forced to conclude Life itself is a hum
bug. aud naturally distrust anything that
has not withstood long and tried expert
ences. Being n physician l had the Curl
osity to know how such a sale OF two
medical preparations could be sustained
for so many years. The perfect system
upon which the business is conducted,
and the pharmaceutical arrangements
for the manufacture of the wv recipes
with which we We're made acquainted.
are sufficiently convincing to us that
the AUGUST FLOWER, for Dyspepsia, and
Liver Complaints, and BOsCHEE's GER
MAN, for Throat and Lung Troubles, We're
for the complaints they are recommended,
most excellent remedies, and only regret
that in much of our practice. medical
ethics prevent us from prescribing them
without making the formulas public.
When we were shown the grOat quantity
of voluntary letters having been forward
ed DIR. Green, from all parts of the coun-
try. and from all classes of people, law
lyers. ministers and doctors. giving a DIES
cription of their ailments, testimonials OF
their cures, etc, | feel like endorsing DE-.
Green's suggestion that the Government
accept such valuable formulas. and Ii
censc them for general use by giving pro-
lection to the inventor same as patenfs
generally.-Copied from n. Y. Druggists O

Typical Example o1'n California
Ikanche-

a typical example Of California
farming is illustrated by the Huffman
ranch. 1t is a magnificent property
devoted to wheat and barley, sur.
rounding the town of MERGED. and
extending over twenty thousand
acres. When the plowing season
comes on. a grand procession makes
its appearance, composed Of ten
eight mule teams and machinery of
the latest invention, performing the
feat Of sixty acres a day. When
harvest draws near, a new kind Of
string darkens the horizon. 1t is
the combined harvester" a Califor
MIA invention, a sort Of travelling
magician, ana two of these mechan-
isms being set to work will perform
wonders. Each one will cut, thresh,
and sack about fifty acres per day,
with the aid Of about five men and
thirty mules, accomplishing the work
that formerly required forty men,
Marvellous improvements are con
s%tantly in progress, and next summer
steam is to supplant mule power
while the grand canal, in process Of
construction for the last four years
will then be completed, thus supply
ing irrigation for six hundred thou
sand acres. The Ultimate design ot
the owners, Croker & Huffman, i:
to cut the ranch up into small farm;
and make it a land of homes.-E.S

Cost and Value OF Milk.

r. S. Gold, Secretary of the Con.
necticut State Board Of Agricnnure
says: with abundant heritage in
summer, the farmer can sell milk and
make money on it at two cents a
quart at the door. With the com.
petition and surplus in the milk
market, very few farmers, whether
making their milk into butter or
cheese or selling it, can realize more
than two cents. When daries have
shrunk up in October, your milk
will generally bring more than two
cents made into cheese or butter,
and the milk will sell for more than
that in the market. AS. quick as
You strike November and begin to
feed from your barns, the milk will
cost the farmer more than two cents.
The effect upon the farm for selling
milk are good. The farmer is led
to watch his cows a great deal more
strictly when he measures the milk
every day. 1t is astonishing how a
dairy of cows will swell or shrink
according to the treatment they re
ceive in the way of feed and water
especially in the summer season. The
amount of milk furnishes so good q
